词组 | virus |
释义 | virus Virus has occasionally been used to mean "a virus infection": • ... has recovered from a virus which confined her to home for several days —Springfield (Mass.) Daily News, 21 May 1954 • If cancer is a virus —Pat McGrady & Murray Morgan, Saturday Evening Post, 9 May 1964 This sense of virus is analogous to the sense of bug meaning "a disease caused by a germ." It is not especially common in print but seems common enough in speech. In any case, it is not likely to occur on the pages of a medical journal. The only usage commentator to take note of it is Bernstein 1965, who dislikes it. |
